Horse husbandry is also a major craft and fine art
Is that what you call tying a female horse’s legs to a fence so she doesn’t kick the stallion being forced onto her??
According to the laws of debate… you can go find the videos on YouTube on your own, I’m not linking to them.
Seriously, what is this opinion post even about?

What? No? Its just a general term for horse work as far as I know. I was trying not to demean people who work with animals.

Hm, I’ve heard “Animal management” as the general term, with “husbandry” focusing on the breeding and artificial selection, with all the ethical issues around that.
Anyway, it’s kind of off-topic, isn’t it?
Cars replaced horse carriages, fridges replaced ice sellers… new technologies keep replacing old professions. We’re at a large job replacement point right now with AI, new skills will be required, but we’re yet in uncertain times as to what those skills will exactly look like.
Not sure which “corpo propaganda” were you referring to, and maybe it’s just me, but the whole post feels hostile.

I didn’t introduce the analogy so I’m not invested in it. I disagree with your opinions so maybe that’s what you’re reading as hostility.

No… it’s more the strawnan gaslighting to insult people without arguing any point. See ya.

Animal husbandry is the general term and longstanding one for the craft and profession of rearing, training, and yes breeding, non-human animals. this whole argument could have been resolved in 2 seconds with a web search.
also, meekly accepting technology and automation as some impassive unguided thing outside of control or ethics is nonsense. that is why you are being told you are repeating corporate propoganda – you are.

When I get a web search brain implant, I might stop relying on memory. Or better not.
Blindly rejecting technology and automation, for some misguided interpretation of ethics like “work gives a man dignity”, or Gen 2:15, is the feudal corporate propaganda, to put it mildly.
